The two men accused of making a home-made explosive device and leaving it outside a man’s house in Midsomer Norton made a recording discussing the nail bomb, a court has heard.

Barry Wood was woken up by a fizzing, crackling sound, which turned out to be an improvised explosive device (IED), outside his house in Greenfield Walkin October 2013.

Police later found nails, screws, bolts and clips were strewn across the road around the remains of a metal cannister, fireworks, a propellant cartridge and a shotgun cartridge.

James William Daly, 39, of Bere Lane, Glastonbury, and Timothy John Swift, 53 of St Thomas Road, Midsomer Norton both deny a charge of conspiring to cause an explosion likely to endanger life or cause serious damage to property on October 17, 2013.
